HexaMonster Hungry! Where have the bigadv WU gone?

[slugbug]

Let's hope so. I haven't seen a -bigadv work unit in days.

[Zagen30]

Just got a 2684.

HexaMonster got bigadv 2685 at about 11am PDT. HexaMonster LIKE 2685! It go Faaast!

So long, and thanks for all the WU's!

HexaMonster got bigadv 2685 at about 11am PDT. HexaMonster LIKE 2685! It go Faaast!...

Do you mean that the the TPF is lesser then that of the Project 2684? Can you give us the TPF for comparison?

[PantherX]

Well, I just got a WU of Project 2685 and will be reporting the TPF

These Project 2685 WUs are really awesome I am getting ~6000 PPD MORE when compared to Project 2684. I am running with -smp 7 + GPU2 Client and the system isn't dedicated Wonder others are getting with dedicated machines Here is from HFM.NET, computer was idle during this time:

Sweet, so BIGADV performance is almost back to where it used to be on A2, before it got all messed up w/ this A3 debacle - Yeaaaa!

i7 980x 4.0 GHz Windows 7 x64 12GB RAM

-smp 12 -bigadv 1.3GB ram used by FAHCore_a3.exe

Project 2685

TPF 00:27:13
PPD 42,789

That's at 58%. I also had the machine powered down for about an hour while I was moving it, so the PPD is a really a tad higher since the bonus will be little bigger without the missing hour.

I didn't post it initially because I had a hard time believing it myself. The TPF has held the whole time and I'm at 58% now. This is the whole reason the HexaMonster was created in the Laboratory. It's a bit more attractive than Frankenstein with pretty blue lights instead of lightning bolts!

bigadv WU's dried up again, haven't seen one since before Saturday 10/23/2010 9:48 AM PST ([16:48:12] UTC), so that's none for over two days now.

Here's the log from downloading a 6701 instead of bigadv right after I finshed the last bigadv. Since then there have been no more bigadv yet.

They are still around. Just picked up a 2692 after I uploaded a 2685. Sweet.

The 2 day (53 hours) dry spell just ended for me with a 2686 I just got at 10/25/2010 2:18 PM PST.

Thanks for letting me know there are some out there, at least as of your post anyway.

Yeah! Fold On!

Yeah, late last week both SR2s got about half a dozen consecutive 6701s each, but since then things have looked up, with my best run of bigadv ever. Really nice to see them both at near max capacity for the first time, and having 3 days straight of 300,000 to 320,000 ppd from two boxes, 1200 watts total.

As Ferris Bueller says, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

But then you get to see one chugging at 162,000 ppd one day then 58,000 the next.
